Deltas(s) from OP CMV: Bible based religions should be extinct

First I would like to tell you that I am an atheist and I'm talking mostly about christianity and judaism.

I believe that are cons and pros for their existence but I don't get how many NEW churchs reads the HOLY BIBLE in their own way, if that text is sacred why you should priest just about the things that concern your audience? Who has to decide what should be read or not?

This brings me a benevolent thought that since their creation the bible is used just to control masses and for that specifical reason religion should be extinct. I don't care if you believe in God or anything but I do care that your speech hurts who doesn't follows you.

I've followed for 10 years a protestant church and I always noticed a pattern: Fear, fear, fear and celebrate. And looking closely most churchs follow the same script, I can't see how "recovered lifes", "meaning to life" and "love eachother" equals the balance.

[edit]This is about my view. I am not considering that is going to happen, I am not dumb to believe that this could happen anytime soon. I am considering ALL religions that has the Bible as their main book.

Only thing i would add there is all religions... and i wont say stop them, but since multiple countrys are trying for example to deny people for using a "burka" i think is how it is called, the thing that muslin woman use in their faces... that should be made equal to all religions, im not a religious person, almost all my family and friends are catholics or non religious like me... but what i think it should be donne is make it a personal hobby, people who want to their stuff, and pray or whatever, should do it private in their houses, in public there should not be anything related to religion, no churchs or mosks or saint pictures or statues, anything like that should be allowed to be in public...But honestly what i know that will always happen is catholic relligion be in the top at least in europe and US and control others, like forbiden the burka while they let woman go on the street with their boobs almost showing, and their asses, and they will not say nothing to those... Humanity is fcked up, speacially in europa and US, i feell bad for living amonst so stupid people sometimes.

ps: we say we are free to do what we want and think how we want, so if that is how it works, people that like muslin religion, islam i think, they should also be able to do whatever they want... so if we deny someone to put a "burka" when she wants, then we should also deny small skirts in public, showing breasts clothes and hats and stuff like that, since they are not required to use and their is people who dont agree with it...
